Listen to what the critics have to say!

"David Calarco is probably one of the hottest acoustic jazz drummers around today!"

Modern Drummer Magazine

"Uptown Express is a tight articulate sextet... its flair and polish ride on the closely
supportive rhythm section of bassist George Mraz and drummer David Calarco."

John Wilson, Stereo Review

"By their final number, Caravan, the New York big band was fully ablaze amid the
sizzling polyrhythms of drummer David Calarco."

Downbeat Magazine

"I'd like to thank both Doug Sertl and the arranger Chic Esposito for sparing this
great band and superb drummer David Calarco from the doldrums of jazz rock."

Cadence Magazine

"His accompaniment is extraordinarily sensitive...Calarco is state of the art."

T.V. Plus

"Throughout the entire set, David Calarco's drums excel in their timing for inserting
punctuation marks at the right points in the performances. Not jolting and jarring, but
just the proper emphasis to drive home the point the players are making on each track."

Dave Nathan, All About Jazz

"Drummer David Calarco, perhaps the group's most inventive composer, is full of
feeling, pays plenty of attention to tone color and dynamics and moves the band
through unusual rhythm schemes that grow from a blend of blues, rock, funk and
many different strains of jazz."
